Default more ?'s rear wheel hop

I don't mean to be repetitive - but has anyone heard about where/when the mopar performance rear tension struts are available?

have not heard personally... also, I am unaware of this rear wheel hop... I have done a few "advanced" stops from "high rates of speed" and have not had any such problem. the only time the car feels "loose" is under hard acceleration and turning (such as on ramps).

actually, upon reading your other posts... and if you are "excessively" "hard" on the car... perhaps a brake upgrade is more in your favor?? just a thought...

everyone wants to go fast, nobody takes the time to figure out how they are going to stop

You might want to try a set of slotted rotors, this might help out the wheel hop issue as well as give you better braking.

I think slotted is in my near future. - Guess those Mopar taillights are going to have to wait on more performance mods.[:@]

How are sloted rotors goin to help? the only thing that they will do is keep cooler and unless this guy is breaking hardcore like in a road course type situation then its not goin to help much if any... usally when u get sloted brakes the rotor is larger than stock so having a larger braking surface is what u were talking about RR then ill agree.

If you read all of his posts you'll notice that he does drive it like he's on a track....all the time.[sm=smiley36.gif] That's why I suggest the slotted rotors.
